Alaskan Wilderness Adventure: Travel Zine Design

Location: Anchorage, Denali National Park, Fairbanks, Kenai Peninsula, Seward, and Talkeetna.
Alaska is the 49th State—the Last Frontier. Rich with nature, wildlife and natural resources, its vast unfettered wilderness offers once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences. Immerse yourself in all that Alaska has to offer, both on land and water. Each participant in this program will create, design and produce a travel zine that is based on experiences from this awe-inspiring wonderland. Using Adobe InDesign as the pre-press layout tool, projects will primarily consist of digital photography; however, writing, illustration, and mixed-media (drawing, painting, collage) are also welcome.

Participants will visit the stunning Denali National Park, which is home to North America’s highest mountain peak, we will gain access to up-close views of wildlife such as grizzly bears, caribou, and moose. As visitors to the Last Frontier, participants will also witness the impact of climate change.

We will meet as a group prior to the trip for hands-on tutorials in bookmaking, Adobe InDesign and basic pre-press setup. During the program, images will be shared and critiqued on a regular basis and all participants will meet with the instructor individually. Completed travel zines must be submitted four weeks after the program ends. A final critique and presentation!
